How Wall Slides Helps You Grow Taller
Wall slides correct forward head posture and rounded shoulders, two of the most common postural issues that reduce height. By pressing your back against the wall and sliding your arms up, you're retraining your muscles to hold proper alignment. This exercise specifically targets the rhomboids and lower trapezius muscles, which pull your shoulders back and down. Correcting these postural deviations can instantly add 1-3 inches to your standing height.
